KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Gerrard likely to be out for 3 weeks

Rogers has the Welsh xavi ready to come into the team !!!

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Like he did the other night?? Fukk me!!

Allen is the only option really. Lucas is out and I really don't want Rodgers to tamper with Emre. Keep him at CB.

When Gerrard went off against Spurs the other night and Can came into midfield we played a lot better. Some just don't want to let go and realise Gerrard is past his best. Can is the future not Allen. We have Lovren possibly coming in for Can and even Kolo returning - and he has had a decent spell in the AFCON.

The Gerrard injury might be a blessing in disguise and don't get me wrong I'm not wishing injury on any one. But Rodgers most often than not adapts only when forced Sahko in when Kolo left for AFCON, Johnson out Markovic in, Sterling injury Mario substitute apearance and goal, now Gerrard injury.

On the evidence so far Can has been his best purchase of the 9 but how long did it take for old BR to actually give the boy a chance. Now if you listen to the previous players such as Carragher - you here all sorts of bs - about how bad Can is. Go figure.

When has JC had a go at Emre Can?

But Carragher wasn’t happy with Can.
After the Chelsea game re that Hazard penalty etc.

‘He played really well in the last five or six games bringing the ball out,’ the former Liverpool defender told Sky Sports. ‘But against top-class players he’s been found wanting. He got beaten too easily and tried to rectify it and made two mistakes.

‘He found it really difficult and looked like a midfielder playing at the back. People say he’s been doing well recently in relation to bringing the ball out, but it was clumsy and a penalty, no doubt about it.’

Carragher received a backlash on social media but took to Kicca to explain his comments.
He wrote: 'When I've seen him (and I watch every game) defend he's struggled at times in the game against Leicester, Wimbledon & on the one occasion tonight it may seem harsh but Lfc had over 60% possession so didn't have much defending to do.
'My point is tonight was the first time he's come up against top class attackers as the teams previously Lfc would expect to dominate and win as they have done & he's impressed.'

And Carragher said of Can on Sky Sports: "He's looked like a midfielder playing at the back tonight. He can't defend and he lacks pace."

Google is your friend

A little harsh, I think he's been quality playing in an unfamiliar position.
